New Ruger GP-100 in .22lr

[Kirk Freeman]

I find any .22lr firearm that can't be suppressed, uncivilized!

Pop quiz, hot shot. All you have is these:

I can load 10 in my revovler, you can load one at a time in your fancy suppressed 22/45.

Advantage: Freeman.

Well, if your attacked by an angry swarm of birds, and let's face it, due to your Wurthers candy addiction you will be the first attacked, you will be pecked to death during the VERY SLOW reload of your 3lb 8-shot .22lr revolver.

What the devil is Wurthers candy?

Is that what warped your mind regarding the superiority of a fine revolver?

That Ruger really needs to be full lug.

LOL

I seen a commercial for the candy, it's a known old people candy.

I do have ONE revolver, but it is in a manly caliber. Also set up for quick reloads!

What revolver is that?

 

[blue2golf]

Nice looking gun, but I've already got a Single Six and couldn't justify spending the money on this one.

Do you mean "Werther's"?

 

[bigcraig]

What revolver is that?

Ruger GP100 4" SS, cylinder milled for use with moon clips.

 

[bigcraig]

Do you mean "Werther's"?

Yes.

Spelling isn't my strong suit.

I have a Colt Diamondback 22. Not my go to gun for self defense but a nice shooter. I'd like one of the S&W or Ruger 10 shot 22's.

Not going to lie...a direct competitor to the 686/617 pair makes this more attractive/less expensive as a new entry into idpa . I have been trying to get my daughter into wheelguns and this 22lr variant of the gp100, if it compliments the 357 like the 686/617, will fit my needs perfectly. If for no other reason, my 4h shooting sports students will benefit as well.

 

[cosermann]

If I could have my druthers, I'd have a Werther's.

I wish they would have made it a 9 shot with a convertible .22 WMR cylinder. INGO is Never Satisfied

 

[dsol]

INGO: We like that gun, but we want it in a different caliber.

Why not just do the Redhawk in .45LC again?

The Redhawk is a huge frame, bigger than a "N" frame I think. The GP100 is more like a "L" frame, a lot easier to carry than the big monster.

If any show up let me know! Seems to be as elusive as SW 617.
